turning a Traxxas Slash into a on road racer

[zac_F71]

Hey guys - I bought Parma's new Muscle 71 SCT body - it actually is a 1971 Dodge Demon - which I own the 1:1 version - so I want to build a Traxxas Slash short course truck to bash on road with - like the real car I will not be building this to handle like a true on road car..

My plan is a drag car basically - will not be very true to the planned build of the real car I have but it will be sweet for sure..

- So first on the list -

Parma body - got - will be painted Plum Crazy Purple or close to that and have scale detailing
Traxxas 2wd slash - no battery kit ($209.99)
Traxxas Tmaxx 14mm hubs
Traxxas 1/8 scale funny car glued rear wheels/tires (take 14mm hubs)
Traxxas 76t spur
Robinson racing 31t pinion (have a 27t as well as a few others)
AKA 2wd 2.2"x1" front dish wheels (white - will be cut up into a 5 spoke design and painted Silver)
Pro-line Bar Code front tires
RJ Speed interior

I plan on trying it with the XL5/12T first but plans are probably gonna be putting the Team Associated brushless setup out of my SC10RS in it (XP700/3300kv)- then just share the battery with that and this. Probably tune the suspension for on road duty as well.

What speeds do you guys think it will hit? I'd be happy with 30mph with the XL5/12T and 45mph with the brushless setup

Did you ever build this thing? I’m thinking about doing the same for my Slash.
